Our Co-Founder and former pro cyclist, David Wiswell, tells Tri Swim Coach's Kevin Koskella, how EnduroPacks can help all athletes cope with the rigors of endurance training.
In this podcast, David discusses his background as a pro cyclist in Europe and the long hours of training which led him to seek ways to help his body maintain the level of training he needed and compete effectively. Over that time in which he tried many nutrition products, he found a system of regular replenishment of nutrients and minerals for hydration and recovery was the most effective means to maintain a high level of consistent training.

We set out to help athletes answer the common questions about calories and how the body processes different types of calories from food. The prevalent idea is that an excess intake of calories, meaning consuming more calories than you burn on average, leads to an increase in body fat. This logic is flawed. Calories are a unit of energy and not a nutrient, they have no physical form unlike, for example, fat which is essentially a long string of carbons with hydrogens attached to them.

I see a lot of triathlon injuries as a New York City Chiropractor and I work with many triathletes to treat injuries or to help them prevent them in the first place. One of the top injuries that affects both runners and cyclists is Iliotibial Band Syndrome, also known as ITBS. The Iliotibial Band is a thick band of fibrous tissue that runs along the outside of the leg, from the hip to the knee. Together with the quadriceps, the band provides stability to the outside knee joint when you move.

As a vegan chef and athlete, I constantly strive to maximize my time. This even pertains to my style of cooking, hence, my love for soups!
